Tamar says...The whole process from start to finish has been super professional with added crazy humour! I have thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated your quick and witty management and responses. Far more exciting than the usual stuffy and serious protocol most companies use. It should be exciting getting a new car and it was! Thanks to you! Although a delayed delivery, very good so far!

Editor Note:
I looked at this, and the delivery was delayed due to nits at Lombard/RBS who managed to suddenly decide to pull out of the market and who delayed the paperwork to allow the supplier to release the car for delivery. Typical. The RBS are entirely hopeless lately. Pity all their Jam Jar customers who got left in the lurch. But... despite that, you seem 100% happy, Tae! How good is that! You have a super car (Grande Punto Sporting), super fast model, super cheap price. Great. -

Linda says...My new Corsa arrived about 10.30 in morning. The fellow who delivered it was friendly. I took him back to Derby railway for his train back. Car very clean and has everything. Love the way you represent yourself and your company. Everything is very precise but obviously presented in an unusual silly manner. I will definitely use your company again if I decide to continue leasing. Excellent delivery.

Windy, you were lovely to deal with. Cars are a bit silly anyway, so why not deal with them in a silly manner :) ??? Hope you really enjoy the Corsa. You have aircon in yours for the summer, so you can stay cool. Lovely! I pass comments to supplier, thanks. -

Richard says...Ling! What can be said?Ling and co are extremely good at what they do! A sweet, innocent, cost competitive lease car provider! Offering blatant bribes for your custom! Every time I see a "Ling" envelope or receive a "Ling" e-mail I smile! Well nearly always (I lied about the sweet and innocent part!). Delivery was good.

Dave says...I've just received delivery of my new car. It's the first time that I have leased and I was a little unsure if it was the right thing to do especially when I first saw Ling's web site. I needn't have worried. The service has been excellent. Four weeks from the first enquiry to delivery. Excellent value as well, the only concern I have is that I hope Ling doesn't make her fortune and retire before I have my next car. Good promt and efficient delivery service.

Isobel says...It was a pleasure leasing my new Renault Megane Coupe-Cabriolet from Ling. The dealer dragged their feet, but Ling kept on the case and got everything sorted. The car is great, I'm just waiting for some sun to get full use. I will certainly go back to Ling at the end of my contract. The dealer was slow and inefficient, I had to provide info more than once.

Isobel, apologies for the dealer. I kicked them as much as I could, and you got the car after a short delay. I sent everything to them special delivery - they still managed to misplace it! I find it really hard to make dealers work faster, and have now changed supplier for these Renaults. Keep in touch, get the roof down and I'll see you in 2-years! -

Andrea says...Ling - what more does anyone want?

Friendly service, prompt quotes, great emails, free car tax, as much down to earth advice as you can get, free lunch, excellent follow-up, and above all a FABULOUS Toyota Prius car. I have already recommended LINGsCARS to others - be good boys and girls and use Ling.

It was never dull, AA/RAC was included, there was free delivery, fast credit checks and it was jolly good fun. Excellent delivery from the dealer who was prompt, pleasant and a good choice! I love my new Toyota Prius.

The free Chinese sweets had my dog doing somersaults and they turned his water green. My advice is to go to Ling for a car, not for a takeaway.

I needed a quote and specification over the normal 10,000 miles. Not only did Ling's site give me this information, but it offered lots of other info as well. Ling was fantastic. Excellent services, very prompt, good information etc... no pressure from hard-hitting sales people, just good honest customer service.

Highly recommended.

Lesley-Jane says...Dear Ling,

Sorry for taking so long to write, but have been too busy enjoying the last days of sun in my lovely new Mercedes SLK! I'd just like to say I was nervous about using an internet company, but to anyone reading this... Don't be afraid of Ling, her service is great and she keeps you informed all the way along. I will definitely use her again. Good delivery. The car arrived on time, but had delivery mileage on the clock.

Editor Note:
Lesley-Jane, wow, I love to supply these sexy 231bhp SLKs. Fast, eh? I can undercut Mercedes Benz dealers massively. The mileage is because the car was driven to you and it will be added to your contract mileage, so you will not have to pay for it. I insist on free delivery and the dealer can choose the method. Yours was driven, others may be transported, it just depends on circumstance. Hope you enjoy the car in the sunshine! -

The Lexus arrived safe and sound.

Alastair, well what a shame it is not flooded in Derby (rest of UK is under the water when I read this). Or else you could have "tested" it, as it is the best 4x4 thing. Everyone who has had these RR Sports have been really happy - I must be the only supplier who does not load the commission up to £1000. I supply these cars for exactly the same tiny margin as every car, from Kia Picanto to Merc S Class. You are a very special customer, but your car to me is like a can of baked beans, hehehe. -

Ling, your service over the Zafira was nothing short of excellent - always replying promptly to my questions. If this mould-breaking idea (what idea? good service??? hehehe - Ling) could be transferred to other major purchase areas (eg Houses), life would be simpler for everyone. Good delivery, no complaints, came exactly on time.

Editor Note:
Hmmm, well, I must say occasionally this (the scratch) happens. It is not pleasant but it always gets fixed. Your car was checked on delivery by your husband who missed the scratch... I asked you to beat him up for me for not seeing it, and I subsequently offered to pay for the Dent Devil man to sort it out FOC. You were kind enough to send me a photo of your husband after you had finished educating him:

Subsequently, I have written a full guide to checking cars on delivery and a copy goes out with all finance documents to help customers. But this scratch is a very rare event, as dealers are usually more careful and they know I will terminate them if it happens more than once. Enjoy the MX5, get the top down and the sun cream on and enjoy yourself, you deserve it, Joanne! -

I can honestly say that the whole transaction was incredibly simple and smooth, even whan we had to change the delivery date on one of the cars. Communication by phone and email was absolutely excellent and the cars were delivered exactly as specified and on time.

The supplying dealer was excellent and the cars were in perfect condition, delivered on time."

Editor Note:
Richard, you had two Renault Megane Coupe Cabriolets - just in time for the winter weather, hehehe. So glad I was able to meet your delivery changes, luckily my Renault supplier is one of the best in the UK. Great to deal with you and it's nice to know that the employees of your care agency are running around in the cheapest Renault Coupe Cabs in the country -
